How to convert a float to an int?

Ok, I realize this is a pretty basic question.
For example if I run the following code, it produces a debug flood, saying truncated float to int.

alpha = 256 - (256 / (time * .25)), 256

Is there an easy way to just round that noise inside the parenthesis to an int?

floor() or ceil(). Unfortunately, there is no "round" or I'd easily suggest that. floor() will drop all digits past the decimal point and ceil() will round up and return the least possible Int.

Think of floor() as rounding down and ceil() as rounding up. I think that's the easiest way to explain it.

Ah, thanks again Anekcen.

No problem. Just call me Alexei or Aleksey. :P
